Hi @Mike_Baysek ,

welcome to the forums, by the way Have you tried booting Debian bookworm live image, to check and compare if behavior persist?

Hi @Loell_Framework .

I took this advice and the sound worked on the LiveCD with XFCE, which is the environment I use.

It’s a relief that it just has to be some configuration issue, but I’m still trying to pin it down. Any tips are appreciated.

This is solved now. Must have been something funky about the upgrade from Bullseye to Bookworm:

Installed pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user restart wireplumber pipewire pipewire-pulse

After reboot, the machine had sound again.
